In just two days, it’s raised over $15,000 of the $20,000 goal for their #HandsOff movement to end Distracted Driving.

Send the link to everyone you know. And let’s see if we can push this over the top before today is over.

The Hollywood Reporter offers an extended follow-up on the shooting death of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen, alleging Beverly Hills police conducted a sloppy investigation before concluding that a bike-riding ex-con pulled the trigger, then shot himself two weeks later as police closed in.

Lake Arrowhead’s long-defunct Santa’s Village will reopen soon for the holidays, including a bicycle-themed Pedals Pub serving craft beers from area breweries. Which sounds like a good reason to stop on your next ride along the Rim of the World.

State

California’s proposed transportation bill would boost bike and pedestrian funding by $80 to $150 million, but doesn’t include a requirement for Complete Streets, or align with the state’s climate goals.

San Diego approves a new growth and development plan for the city’s uptown district, including a request to identify funding to complete a bike lane connecting the Hillcrest and North Park neighborhoods along University Ave.

North Carolina’s governor challenges residents to hike, walk, bike, paddle or skate 100 miles. Not in a day, a week or even a month, but over the course of a full year. Seriously? If that’s a challenge, it’s no wonder most Americans are out of shape.

Ah the Clock tower round about at Stanford. AKA the Circle of Death…. Been there many times and tried to avoid class change minutes. I always considered class change voyages through there to be part of my agility drill training. Another fun place was White Plaza by the Post office….

Workers who are on campus usually just stay parked during class changes. But a very nice bike friendly campus.

That Ronnie Clausen story from BHPD is as full of holes as my socks! The supposed murder weapon belonged to a retired cop and despite the suspect’s hand being covered in blood spatter behind the gun there was almost none to be seen on the gun, and then there is the minor detail about the gun that the suspect used to shoot himself laying in a relaxed hand minutes after the death, when people shooting themself in the head spasm at that point so that rigor has to set in and fall out before the gun can be removed without breaking fingers. see https://bonesdontlie.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/new-morbid-terminology-cadaveric-spasm/
